Mobility-tech startup Automoto has launched InspektAI, a buyer-side vehicle inspection and verification platform aimed at solving the absence of trust infrastructure for buyers in India’s used-car market.

The used-car segment, currently valued at USD 36 billion and is projected to touch USD 70–100 billion. Despite the market's expansion on the seller and marketplace side, the buyer remains the least protected stakeholder, with issues such as odometer tampering, concealed accident damage, panel replacements and valuation distortion remaining largely unregulated.

InspektAI acts as a platform-agnostic verification layer, combining AI-based dent detection, ECU/OBD analytics, over 300 point mechanical & structural checks and a digital inspection passport that can plug into underwriting, insurance scoring and marketplace workflows.

Sreeraj PV, Founder & CEO, Automoto, said, “India’s used-car market has solved supply, not trust. Transaction risk still comes from information asymmetry. InspektAI is designed as a neutral, AI-backed truth layer that protects buyers and strengthens the ecosystem.”

InspektAI has launched in Bengaluru, with expansion to other metros planned over the next few quarters. The company said it is already in discussions with NBFCs, insurers, mobility platforms and EV ecosystem players to integrate InspektAI into their risk and valuation processes.

It was recently, Automoto closed the first tranche of its extended pre-seed round, backing its push into trust infrastructure for mobility. The company operates across multiple lifecycle layers including InspektAI, the Moto365 ownership stack and skill-development initiatives under Automoto Akademie. Automoto is positioning InspektAI as a potential trust API for India’s mobility-finance stack.

Autorox and Bosch Mobility Platform and Solutions have announced a global strategic collaboration aimed at transforming the management and scaling of vehicle repair and maintenance operations worldwide.

Under the partnership, Bosch Mobility Platform and Solutions will serve as the exclusive global distributor for Autorox and Autozilla.

Founded by Vijay Gummadi, these two platforms focus on garage management and B2B parts commerce. 

The collaboration seeks to digitally enable over 25,000 repairers and spare parts sellers to collectively deliver over 100 million vehicle services per year by 2030.

Vijay Gummadi, Founder & CEO, Autorox, said, “Great products and great distribution - that’s the formula for lasting success. Bosch brings unmatched global credibility and reach, while Autorox brings deep product and domain expertise in how modern workshops run. Together, we’re reimagining the future of vehicle repair - from manual, fragmented systems to intelligent, connected operations.”

As per the understanding, Bosch will provide structure, credibility and scale using its global network and standards. Autorox will provide the digital backbone, connecting repair shops, parts sellers, insurers and fleets. This covers intelligent job scheduling, procurement, connected customer experiences and predictive analytics.

Pradeep Ramachandra, CTO, Bosch - Mobility Platform & Solutions, said, “Bosch has long championed innovation that simplifies mobility. Through this collaboration with Autorox and Autozilla, we aim to digitise and connect the global workshop ecosystem, improving service efficiency and transparency. By combining Bosch’s enterprise presence with Autorox’s modern technology, we are addressing a challenge that has remained unsolved for decades.”

The partnership will expand into North America, Europe, and other global markets in phases, building on the platforms' success in India and the Middle East. The collaboration will also leverage Bosch’s existing work with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to ensure enterprise-grade scalability and security.
